With
tonight's launch of Pulitzer's Visit
Up cocktail sessions, and the opening parties
for CDLC's
terrace tomorrow, La
Terrrazza on Friday, and Sotavento
Beach Club's terrace and La
Sal on Saturday, the start of the summer
season is as official as it gets. |

That
also means that it's now time to make some tough
decisions: Socks and sandals? Short-shorts
or just too short? Legs-or-cleavage
(or hussy)? And for me, as red puts me to sleep
and beer makes you, eww, fat, deciding which
white to call my summer tipple this year.
Now, being a sucker for pretty labels, I was
momentarily tempted to go with last year's choice
of Paco
& Lola or even blasphemously diluting
Amaya
Arzuaga's new red into a tinto de verano,
but then I discovered JO! - enticed by the great
bottle design and Dani
Riera's campaign shots - that's marketed
by the winemaker's son and local bon vivant,
Miquel Vacquer.

The cosecha isn't just pretty but also
Catalunya's first verdeJO(!) wine, more
typical of Rueda. More importantly, it's
tasty and refreshing - and it's one decision
down. As for the rest? Socks and sandals,
whatever; no such thing as too
short; and hussies, you know, always have
more fun.
JO!
